Krapow Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 LGBT rights: Malaysia women caned for attempting to have lesbian sex 3 September 2018 Share this with Facebook Share this with Messenger Share this with Twitter Share this with Email Share Image copyright Getty Images Image caption File photo of a woman in Indonesia who was previously caned in public Two Malaysian women convicted of attempting to have lesbian sex in a car have been caned in a religious court. The Muslim women, aged 22 and 32, were each caned six times in the Sharia High Court in the state of Terengganu. According to an official, this is the state's first conviction for same-sex relations and its first public caning. Human rights activists reacted with outrage. Homosexual activity is illegal under both secular and religious laws. The caning was witnessed by more than 100 people, according to local news outlet The Star. Why two LGBT portraits were removed from an exhibition Anger over 'how to spot gay person' list 'First modern lesbian' plaque wording to change Malaysian rights group Women's Aid Organisation told Reuters news agency it was "appalled by this grave violation of human rights". A member of the Terengganu state executive council, Satiful Bahri Mamat, defended the punishment, telling the agency it had not been intended to "torture or injure" and had been carried out in public to "serve as a lesson to society". 'Not meant to cause pain' The duo, whose identities have not been revealed, were arrested in April by Islamic enforcement officers after they were found in a car in a public square in Terengganu. They had last month pleaded guilty to breaking Islamic laws and were sentenced to be caned and fined RM3,300 ($800, £619). Beauty and the Beast postponed in Malaysia Country profile "Sexual acts between two consenting adults should not be criminalised, let alone punished with whipping," Women's Aid Organisation said. According to The Star, caning under Islamic law is not similar to caning carried out for crimes under civil law. It is not meant to cause pain. Malaysia is known to be a moderate Muslim-majority country but has seen rising religious sentiment in recent years. Earlier last month, a minister ordered that portraits of LGBT activists be removed from a public exhibition. Malaysia operates a dual-track legal system. Muslims are bound by Sharia - or Islamic - law on personal matters like marriage and custody rights, while members of other faiths follow civil law.

Glasseye Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Cunts........Wouldn't want to be anything there. The Malaysian government just QUADRUPLED their income requirements for their main residency program. Boosting the monthly provable income necessary to qualify to $9,500/month + $86 k in a Malay bank. They can kiss my white ass.... but, I wouldn't go there if it was $1,000/month. f**k em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
